Linux kernel source tree
cf4340bdd9
Patch series "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs", v6. All existing kexec and kdump sysfs entries are moved to a new location, /sys/kernel/kexec, to keep /sys/kernel/ clean and better organized. Symlinks are created at the old locations for backward compatibility and can be removed in the future [01/03]. While doing this cleanup, the old kexec and kdump sysfs entries are marked as deprecated in the existing ABI documentation [02/03]. This makes it clear that these older interfaces should no longer be used. New ABI documentation is added to describe the reorganized interfaces [03/03], so users and tools can rely on the updated sysfs interfaces going forward. This patch (of 3): Several kexec and kdump sysfs entries are currently placed directly under /sys/kernel/, which clutters the directory and makes it harder to identify unrelated entries. To improve organization and readability, these entries are now moved under a dedicated directory, /sys/kernel/kexec. The following sysfs moved under new kexec sysfs node +------------------------------------+------------------+ | Old sysfs name | New sysfs name | | (under /sys/kernel) | (under /sys/kernel/kexec) | +---------------------------+---------------------------+ | kexec_loaded | loaded | +---------------------------+---------------------------+ | kexec_crash_loaded | crash_loaded | +---------------------------+---------------------------+ | kexec_crash_size | crash_size | +---------------------------+---------------------------+ | crash_elfcorehdr_size | crash_elfcorehdr_size | +---------------------------+---------------------------+ | kexec_crash_cma_ranges | crash_cma_ranges | +---------------------------+---------------------------+ For backward compatibility, symlinks are created at the old locations so that existing tools and scripts continue to work. These symlinks can be removed in the future once users have switched to the new path. While creating symlinks, entries are added in /sys/kernel/ that point to their new locations under /sys/kernel/kexec/. If an error occurs while adding a symlink, it is logged but does not stop initialization of the remaining kexec sysfs symlinks. The /sys/kernel/<crash_elfcorehdr_size | kexec/crash_elfcorehdr_size> entry is now controlled by CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP instead of CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO, as CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP also enables CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
